^ That's the thing about this thread that I love so much.... it's essentially a thread for us Z lovers to just chat about anything, anything related to our Z's, no matter what it is. And I love this thread for that matter...

Also, it's funny that the OP no longer chimes in. Maybe he's not even a member anymore... lol.

OMG, someone strayed of the topic of the thread title... that never happens.

Very common for car guys to want to take nice shots of their cars to share with other car guys.

I'm an avid photographer..But I'm going to hold myself back from straying from the thread!

Today I stared at my stock Z and pondered the exhaust I want to put on it....

Oh the agony!

Hummm....I guess it depends on how cloudy then. Last time I tried it in the cloudy light my car came out under exposed. Probably can do +0.7EV on my camera.

Has to do with your metering setting too and trial and error.

Lol photography is hot in this thread right now, and most of us are into it. I dont think a little of your expertise would be found offensive by anyone

You are to be commended for your restraint, Nick.


I am in need of making a desicion about my exhaust too. Probably that last mod for me for a while on the Roadster. Need to switch projects and get a few things done on the TT...

I think I'm going to end up with the Invidia Gemini(I've contemplated berk) and some HFC's. Now we gotta see how long it takes me to actually order them as I'm saving for a house

Are you talking about an Audi TT or that 300ZX in your sig?

I dream of getting a 300ZX TT and modding the **** out of it

Yep, the TT in my sig. It's a whole different animal. I have had it since 2001 and the drive train is pretty much done. I just need to do brakes and suspension... but I keep spending my toy budget on the roadster.
